3.  BRONTE    (CHARLOTTE).     A.   L.    S.,   4  pp.    12mo. 
London,  December,  1849. 

*  A  fine  letter  to   her  friend  Ellen   Nussey,  telling  of   her 
impression  of  London,  reading  in  part:     "/  came  to  this  big 
Babylon  last  Thursday,  and  have  been  in  what  seems  to  me  a 
sort  of  whirl  ever  since,  for  changes,  scenes  and  stimulus  which 
would  be  a  trifle  to  others  are  much  to  me."     The  letter  gives 
her  experiences  at  the  home  of  Mr.  Smith,  of  Smith  &  Elder, 
and  her  likes  and  dislikes  are  frankly  written  down.     At  the

ORIGINAL  MANUSCRIPT  OF  CHARLOTTE  BRONTE'S 
PREFACE  TO  "JANE  EYRE." 

4.  BRONTE  (CHARLOTTE).    Manuscript  of  the  Preface 
to  the  Second  Edition  of  "Jane  Eyre,"  in  which  she  dedi- 
cates1 the  book  to  Thackeray  and  eulogizes  his  Literary  work. 
Written  on  6  pages  of  blue  paper  of  12mo  size,  and  signed 
* '  Currer  Bell. ' '    Bound  in  brown  levant  morocco. 

*  Thackeray   was    both    surprised    and    deeply   touched   when 
Charlotte  Bronte  published  this  preface,   for  it  was  the  first 
definite  tribute  to  his  genius  from  an  authoritative  source. 

The  tribute  was  so  graceful  and  at  the  same  time  so  con- 
vincing that  he  was  conscious  of  its  sincerity  at  once  and,  as 
he  writes  to  his  friend  Williams  at  the  time:  "I  am  quite 
vexed  that  by  some  blundering  I  sh'd  have  delayed  answering 
Currer  Bell's  enormous  compliment  so  long.  I  didn't  Jcnow  what 
to  say  in  reply:  it  quite  flustered  and  upset  me — is  it  true  I 
wonder?"

Original  Drawings  by  W.  M.  Thackeray. 

Charlotte  Bronte  wrote  to  W.  S.  Williams,  on  March  llth,  1848,  a 
letter,  from  which  we  quote: 

"You  will  not  easily  find  a  second  Thackeray.  How  Tie  can 
render,  with  o  few  black  lines  and  dots,  shades  of  expression  so  fine, 
so  real:  traits  of  character  so  minute,  so  subtle,  so  difficult  to  seize 
and  fix,  I  cannot  tell — I  can  only  wonder  and  admire.  Thackeray 
may  not  be  a  painter,  but  he  is  a  wizard  of  a  draughtsman;  touched 
with  the  pencil,  the  paper  lives.  And  then  his  drawing  is  so  refresh- 
ing:  after  the  wooden  limbs  one  is  accustomed  to  see  portrayed  by 
commonplace  illustrators,  his  shapes  of  bone  and  muscle  clothed 
with  flesh,  correct  in  proportion  and  anatomy,  are  a  real  relief.  All 
is  true  in  Thackeray.  If  Truth  were  again  a  goddess,  Thackeray 
should  be  her  high  priest." 

"The  pictures  tell  their  own  story.  They  are  the  contents  of 
some  of  our  old  portfolios  $•  scrap  books  where  they  have  been  all 
these  years. 

Anne  Ritchie. ' '     [Lady  Anne 
Isabella    Thackeray   Ritchie] 

19.  THACKERAY     (W.    M.).      Two    ORIGINAL    PENCIL 
SKETCHES  of  "Miss  Raiby,"  the  Doctor's  niece,  evidently  pre- 
liminary studies  of  the  illustration  which  finally  appeared  in 
"Doctor  Birch."     One  on  each  side  of  a  4to  sheet,  mounted 
on  a  mat,  and  bound  in  red  levant  morocco,  gilt,  gilt  edges,  by 
Riviere. 

*  This  is  the  original  of  the  delightful  drawing  published  for 
the  first  time  in  Lady  Ritchie's  Biographical  Edition  of  her 
Father 's  Works,  and  called  there,  ' '  Rough  Study  of  Mother 
&  Child." 

20.  THACKERAY   (W/  M.).     FIVE  PENCIL  AND  WATER- 
COLOR  DRAWINGS,  forming  the  original  illustrations  of  Doctor 
Birch,  neatly  mounted  in  sunk  mounts,  and  bound  in.    4to,  in 
dark  red  levant  morocco,  by  Riviere. 

*  The  pictures  illustrate: 

(1)  The  "Dear  Brothers,"  with  five  lines  in  pencil. 

(2)  The  drawing  for  "The  Pirate,"  showing  Duval,  one  of 
the  older  pupils,  holding  up  the  small  boy  with  the  tarts. 

(3)  Original  pencil  drawing  by  Thackeray  of  the  plate,  "Home, 
Sweet  Home,"  ilustrating  how  "Hewlett"  compels  little 
"Nightingale"    to   sing  him  to    sleep   to   the   strains   of 
' '  Home,  Sweet  Home. ' ' 

(4)  A  sketch  for  Miss  Birch's  Flower  Garden. 

(5)  "Miss    Birch's   Flower    Garden,"    a   highly   finished   and 
carefully  executed  drawing,  showing  interesting  differences 
from  the  published  plate.    Beneath,  written  in  Thackeray's 
autograph,  is  a  description,  which  also  differs  from  that  in 
the  printed  text,  as  follows: 

Miss  Joper  (known  as  Miss  Birch  in  the  published  version), 
The  Honorable  Fluke  Plantagenet  (Plantagenet  Gaunt 
in  the  book).  (In  the  flower  garden  where  only  the  Par- 
lour Boarders  go.) 

Plantagenet  (gives  a  poke  with  his  stick  to  Miss  J.  who 
happens  to  be  watering  her  plants  and  of  course  does  not 
see  him  come)  "Crck  rck!" 

Miss  J.  "Lor  Plantagenet!  get  away  you  troublesome 
creature ! ' ' 

Plantagenet.    "He  He!"

gray  wrappers.    In  a  red  levant  ease  by  Riviere.     Lond.  1841 

*  Remarkably  fine  copy  of  the  FIRST  EDITION,  in  the  original 
covers,  with  the  etching  of  Napoleon  lying  in  state,  which  has 
never   been   reprinted   in   any    of   his   works.      This   pamphlet 
appeals  to  both  the  collectors  of  Thackerayana  and  Napoleona. 
The  above  copy  is  a  specially  fine  one,  without  fox  marks,  and 
with  the  back  intact,  no  copy  in  this  condition  having  been 
offered  for  sale  for  many  years:  the  Lambert  copy  having  been 
without  a  back.     It  has  been  carefully  compared  with  the  copy 
in  the  Library  of  the  British  Museum  in  London.     It  contains 
the  inscription,  ' '  Tomb  in  the  Chapel  of  the  Invalides ' '  in  full 
under  the  frontispiece,  usually  missing,  as,  for  instance,  in  the 
facsimile  contained  in  this  collection. 

Thackeray  had  not  yet  become  famous  at  the  time  he  wrote 
this  pamphlet.  He  had  gone  to  Paris  in  December,  1840,  to 
witness  the  ceremonies  in  connection  with  the  interment  of  the 
remains  of  Napoleon  brought  from  St.  Helena  to  rest  in  the 
Hotel  des  Invalides.  The  little  book  was  bitterly  criticised  by 
"The  Times."  Thackeray  replied,  "There  now  is  the  Times 
newspaper,  which  the  other  day  rated  your  humble  servant  for 
publishing  an  account  of  one  of  the  great  humbugs  of  modern 
days,  viz.,  the  late  funeral  of  Napoleon —  Well  then,  the  funeral 
of  Napoleon  was  a  humbug,  as  Titmarsh  wrote;  and  a  still 
better  proof  that  it  was  a  humbug  was  this,  that  nobody  bought 
Titmarsh's  book  ..."  Edward  Fitzgerald  wrote,  in  1841, 
' '  Have  you  read  Thackeray  's  litle  book,  '  The  Second  Funeral 
of  Napoleon?'  If  not  pray  do,  and  buy  it,  and  ask  others  to 
buy  it;  as  each  copy  sold  puts  7%d  in  T.'s  pocket,  which  is 
very  empty  just  now,  I  take  it.  I  think  this  book  is  the  best 
thing  he  has  done."

Lond. :  Bradbury  and  Evans,  1847-8 

*  One  of  the  finest  copies  ever  offered  for  sale,  with  every 
part  as  clean  as  when  issued  by  the  publisher,  all  the  backs  per- 
fect, and  (with  the  following  exceptions)  each  part  of  the  FIRST 
ISSUE,  and  agrees  with  the  collation  published  in  the  Boston 
Evening  Transcript,   Sept.  2,  1908.     Part  I.  Page  2  of  cover. 
The  collation  calls  for  "Contents  of  No.  I  [etc.],"  while  thia 
copy  has  only  "Contents"  on  the  first  line.     The  Bradbury  & 
Evans  catalogue  at  the  end  of  No.  I  agrees  perfectly  with  the 
collation,  but  has  a  pencil  note  at  the  top  ' '  2nd  State  of  this 
Advertisement. "    It  is  printed  on  pink  tinted  paper.    No.  XVI 
has  "  [Price,  Is."  for  "Price,  Is."  as  required  by  the  collation. 
Nos.  XVII,  and  XIX  &  XX  have  no  dates  below  the  imprint. 
No.  XVII,  the  first  line  of  the  advertisement  on  p.  3,  reads  ' '  To 
Ladies,"  according  to  the  collation  this  should  be  on  page  4, 
but  this  is  a  printer's  error  in  the  collation. 

This  copy  contains  all  other  points  of  the  first  issues;  the 
"Vanity  Fair"  on  p.  1  in  rustic  type,  the  suppressed  woodcut 
of  the  Marquis  of  Steyne,  the  advertisement  of  ' '  The  Great 
Hoggarty  Diamond,"  etc.,  etc.  Four  numbers  contain  the  origi- 
nal tissue  paper  between  the  plates,  showing  an  offset  from  the 
plates.  A  few  plates  slightly  foxed  as  usual.

*  INSERTED  is  AN  INTERESTING  1  PAGE  A.  L.  S.  FROM  THE 
AUTHOR  TO  DR.  ELLIOTSON   (ix>  whom  Thackeray  dedicated  the 
second  volume  of  the  above  work),  dated  at  Kensington,  Tues- 
day Evening:      "How  can  you  ask  such  a  Touck  as  I  am  to 
eat  a  mere  %  buck? — and  the  worst  of  it  is  that  I  am  going  to 
refuse  even  that.     I  want  to  go  out  of  town  for  my  health's 
sake,  and  try  Dr.  Air  and  Dr.  Thalassa.    You  are  a  good  doctor 
'but  I  want,  I  say,  to  try  the  latter,"  etc.    THERE  ARE  INSERTED, 

ALSO,  ONE  PAGE  OF  THE  ORIGINAL  MANUSCRIPT  OF  ' '  PENDENNIS,  ' '

AND  INK  DRAWING  OF  THE  WOODCUT  WHICH  HEADS  CHAPTER  V, 
VOL.  2,  AND  A  PENCIL  DRA'WING. 

Thackeray  referred  twice  to  Dr.  Elliotson  in  his  published 
works.  In  "Eebecca  &  Eowena, "  he  says:  "But  passing  many 
hours  on  a  sofa  of  late,  recovering  from  a  fever  and  ordered  ~by 
Dr.  Elliotson  (whose  skill  fy  friendship  rescued  me  from  it)  on 
no  account  to  put  pen  to  paper,  I,  of  course,  wished  to  write 

immediately "     And  again,  I  know  of  a  kind  physician 

(who  tends  his  patient  without   ever  thinking   of  a  fee)    "but  I 
won't  do  him  the  ill  service  of  mentioning  his  name  here."

*  First  Edition,  a  good  copy;  now  very  scarce. 

In  the  preface,  which  has  never  been  reprinted  in  his  works, 
Thackeray  says,  ' '  The  tale,  which,  was  always  a  favourite  with 
its  writer,  was  not  particularly  well  received  at  the  time  of  its* 
•first  appearance. ' '  It  was  written  at  the  time  of  great  domestic 
troubles,  his  wife  having  become  afflicted  with  a  mental  dis- 
order.

the  small  pieces  by  the  great  novelist.     It  was  originally  pub- 
lished in  the  "Keepsake,"  for  1849,  and  Thackeray  evidently 
had  a  few  copies  separately  issued  for  his  friends.     The  type 
was  reset  for  the  issue  and  a  few  printer's  errors  corrected.

*  INSERTED  is  A  VERY  FINE  4  PP.  A.  L.  S.  FROM  THACKERAY 
TO  MRS  BAYNE,  written  during  his  lecture  tour  in  the  United 
States,  dated,  Clarendon  Hotel,  New  York,  April  5,   1853;   to- 
gether with  the   original   envelope,   and  a  visiting   card   "Mr. 
Thackeray,  Miss  Thackerays,  36  Onslow  Sqr.,  Brompton,"  with 

'  the  words  ' '  So  sorry ' '  marked  in  pencil.  Mr.  Thackeray 
writes:  "I  received  your  kind  letter  at  Washington,  where  I 
passed  some  three  weeks  pleasantly  enough  among  the '  great 
folks  of  the  Eepublic  ....  7  saw  the  two  presidents  (they  came 
together  to  my  lecture)  and  dined  at  the  White  House  in  the 
reign  of  the  late  sovereign,  Mr.  Fillmore.  Then  I  went  away 
into  Virginia,  crossing  the  pretty  Eappahanna  (where  you 
know  the  Esmond  family  had  their  large  estates).  It  gave  me 
a  queer  sensation  to  see  the  place,  and  I  fancied  the  story  was 
actually  true  for  a  minute  or  two — and  that  one  might  ride  over 
yonder  hills  and  come  upon  the  old  Mansion  House,  where  the 
little  Colonel  lived  with  his  jealous  wife  ....  7  have  come  away 
from  the  South  not  so  horrified  as  perhaps  I  ought  to  be  with 
slavery,  .which  in  the  towns  is  not  by  any  means  a  horrifying 
institiition  .  ...  It  is  the  worst  economy,  slavery,  that  can  be, 
the  clumsiest  and  most  costly  domestic  and  agricultural  machine 
that  ever  was  devised.  Uncle  Tom's  Cabin  and  the  tirades  of 
the  Abolitionists  mayn't  destroy  it,  but  common  sense  infallibly 
will  before  long  ....  The  luxury  of  this  city  is  prodigious;  and 
surely  Solomon  in  all  his  glory  or  the  Queen  of  Sheba  when  she 
came  to  visit  him  wa$  not  arrayed  so  magnificently  as  these  New 
York  damsels, ' '  etc.

Syrens  and  their  Mothers, ' '  which  does  not  appear  to  have  been 
printed.     ' '  When  the  young  Syrens  set  their  green  caps  at  the 
old  Greek  captain  and  his  crew,  waving  and  beckoning  him  with 
their  sweetest  pipes — I  make  no  doubt,  that  the  Mother  Syrens 
were   behind   the   rocks    (with   their    dyed   fronts   and   cheeks 
painted  so  as  to  resist  the  wet)  and  catting  out  'Now  Halcyone, 
my  child,   that   air  from   the  Pirata!     Now   Glankopis,   dearf 
look  well  at  that  old  gentleman  at  the  helm!    Salhykolpos  love! 
there's  a  young  sailor  on  the  maintop,  who  will  tumble  right 
down  into  your  lap  if  you  beckon  him!'     And  so  on  and  on. 
And  I  laughed  a  wild  shrieTc  of  despair.    For  I  too  have  been  on 
the  dangerous  island,  and  came  away  thence  mad  furious  want- 
ing a  strait  waistcoat."

*  INSERTED  ARE  TWO  A.  L.  S.  FROM  THE  AUTHOR  TO  WM. 
MACREADY,  one  in  pencil,  arranging  for  a  lecture,  the  first  dated 
Feb.  20  (1858),  the  second  Feb.  22.  "Instead  of  writing  to 
you  on  Saturday  I  was  sent  to  bed  with  one  of  those  fits  of 
spasms  that  assail  me  about  a  dozen  times  a  year,  and  am  still 
on  my  ~bacTc,"  etc. 

The  pathos  of  this  letter  is  deepened  by  the  fact  that,  five 
years  later,  the  master  succumbed  to  a  similar  attack,  being  found 
lifeless  in  bed  on  the  Christmas  morning  of  1863.

ORIGINAL  MANUSCRIPT  OF  "DOCTOR  BIRCH." 
(See  No.  66.) 


ORIGINAL  MANUSCRIPT   OF  THE   "EPILOGUE"  TO 
DOCTOR  BIRCH. 

65.  THACKERAY  (W.  M.).  DOCTOR  BIRCH  and  his 
Young  Friends.  Text  of  the  Smith  Elder  Edition,  together 
with  the  ORIGINAL  MANUSCRIPT  of  the  first  draft  of  the 
''Epilogue."  Colored  plates.  4to,  red  morocco,  gilt  top,  un- 
cut ;  in  a  cloth  slip-case. 

*  The  original  draft  of  the  ' '  Epilogue ' '  was  written  on  one 
page,  4to,  and  consists  of  only  seven  stanzas  as  compared  with 
eleven  in  the  printed  text;  in  fact,  it  is  a  mere  outline  of  the 
theme  as  finally  developed,  and  shows  in  its  interlineations  and 
corrections,  the  great  difficulties  Thackeray  had  to  contend  with 
in  writing  verse,  for  example: 

"For  rich  or  poor  for  good  or  ill, 

Let  young  or  old  accept  their  part, 

And  bow  themselves  to  Heavens  high  will 

And  bear  it  with  an  honest  heart." 

In  this  manuscript  the  author  has  altered  it  to  read: 
"Come  wealth  or  want,  come  good  or  ill, 

Let  young  and  old  accept  their  part, 
And  bow  before  the  Awful  Will 

And  "bear  it  with  an  honest  heart." 

There  is  inserted  an  8  pp.  A.  L.  S.  from  Mrs.  Ritchie,  trans- 
mitting this  manuscript  and  giving  some  interesting  details  of 
the  disposal  of  her  father's  drawings  and  manuscripts. 


ORIGINAL  MANUSCRIPT    OF   DOCTOR  BIRCH. 

66.  THACKERAY  (W.  M.).  DOCTOR  BIRCH  and  his 
Young  Friends.  Nearly  all  of  the  ORIGINAL.  MANUSCRIPT,  in- 
cluding the  "Epilogue."  Together  with  a  transcript  of  the 
first  draft  of  the  Epilogue,  in  the  autograph  of  Mrs.  Ritchie 
(Thackeray's  Daughter).  Illustrated  with  proof  plates  from 
the  Smith  Elder  Edition.  The  missing  portions  supplied  from 
the  text  of  the  First  Edition.  Mounted  to  4to,  and  bound  in 
levant  morocco,  gilt,  gilt  edges,  by  Roger  de  Coverley. 

Lond.  1849 

*  The  only  parts  lacking  are  the  three  chapters  entitled :  "A 
Word  about  Miss  Birch,  Briggs  in  Luck,  and  A  Young  Fellow 
Who  is  Pretty  Sure  to  Succeed. ' '  There  are  30  pages  of  the 
original  manuscript,  containing  many  interesting  corrections, 
interlineations,  etc.  The  "Epilogue,"  especially,  contains  two 
stanzas  inserted,  and  several  lines  altered,  and  on  the  back  of 
one  sheet  is  a  verse  of  four  lines,  each  line  of  which  contains 
two  less  words  than  the  printed  text.

ORIGINAL  MANUSCRIPT  OF  THE  PINNER  SPEECH. 

67.  THACKERAY  (W.  M.).    SPEECH  delivered  at  Pinner 
at  the  Annual  Festival  to  Commemorate  the  Establishment  of 
the  Commercial  Travellers'  Schools.     ORIGINAL  MANUSCRIPT,. 
written  on  8  pages,  8vo.    With  the  printed  text  of  the  Speech 
as  reported  in  the  "Examiner,"  January  2,  1858.    3  portraits 
inserted.     The  whole  mounted  to  4to,  and  bound  in  red  mo- 
rocco, gilt,  gilt  top,  in  cloth  slip  case. 

*  An  unusually  clean  manuscript,  with  but  few  corrections ; 
but  differing  materially  from  the  speech  as  reported.     At  one 
point  Thackeray  refers  to  Dickens'  Nicholas  Nickleby:    "When 
the  respected  Mr.  Squeers,  of  I/otheboys  Hall,  announces  that 
Tie  proposes  to  take  a  limited  number  of  pupils — I  should  rather 
say  a  number  of  limited  pupils — it  is  not  because  he  is  in  love 
with  the  little  darlings  that  he  does  it,  but  because  he  designs  to 
extract  a  profit  out  of  them.     It  always  pains  me  to  think  of 
the  profits  to  be  screwed  out  of  the  bellies  of  the  poor  little  inno- 
cents," etc. 

THACKERAY-HOLMES  CORRESPONDENCE. 

68.  THACKERAY  (W.  M.).     A  Collection  of  Autograph 
Letters  by  W.  M.  Thackeray,  consisting  of  6  A.  L.  S.  to  Miss 
Holmes,  with  addressed  envelopes ;  2  A.  L.  S.  from  Miss  Anne 
Thackeray  to  Miss  Holmes ;  1  A.  L.  S.  from  Cardinal  Newman 
to  Miss  Holmes;  original  photograph  of  Thackeray  made  by 
Alman  when  the  novelist  was  in  New  York,  in  1853;  2  other 
photographs,    one   showing   him    seated;    and    other   matter. 
Bound  together  in  a  large  8vo  volume,  in  dark  green  levant, 
gilt  edges,  by  Riviere. 

*  The  six  letters  by  Thackeray  were  not  included  in  any  of 
the  collections  of  his  letters,  and  are  of  great  interest.     Of  Miss 
Holmes,   Lady   Eitchie   has   written   recently:      "Miss    Holmes 
I  remember  very  well.    She  was  an  ardent  Roman  Catholic,  and 
at  one  time  I  think  she  was  most  anxious  to  convert  my  Father. 
She  was  an  excellent  musician,  and  lived  with  us  for  a  short 
time  in  Young  Street."
